Secretly clutching his alexandrite lode, he flew Straight up ten feet with a view for all to see. Fireflies flew erratically around him, a ghostly shine. As Fili moved his clutched hand, he turned. Somersaulted, spun and returned to his standing stance. Below the people of the glen clapped in awe. But now Fili was worried, how was he to descend And thus receive his well merited prize? It was the River-maid who rescued him, as she flew And whispered in his ear. Change the lode to the left hand She whispered, giving him a luscious kiss. Soon Fili landed and the Fairy Queen beckoned him. You can take your first midnight skinny dipping and eat all The strawberries you like so much, she graciously said. She took his lode, put it on a crown and on his head it sat. And now Fili, the hero, was annoyed no more.
